The best thing about season 5 of The Wire was it's version of Way Down in the Hole. And I always skip that after listening to it twice.

It paved the way for a lot of shows, but it's galling that something so good finished so early. Albeit much like Deadwood.

S3 of Deadwood was pretty awful though imo

So we got 2 seasons left of this? I thought season 7 was gonna be the last one.

Aren't they filming everything at once too? I think someone told me that they were, but I'm pretty sure if that's the case then we would have spoilers all the way through the end of the series.

They've long since finished filming this season I think, they'll be starting to film season 8 in a few months. At which point I'll stop reading this thread and all other asoiaf media because I don't want to be spoiled on the ending.

There are definitely things they could do to prevent leaks but don't, which is weird.

Mass media doesn't report leaks, and most people don't seek them out. The minority that wants to be spoiled will find a way in most cases, so cost/benefit is probably not worth it.

They might clamp down harder on the last season though.

The spoilers for this season are so bland it doesn't matter if you read them or not, I suspect this season will try to carry itself mostly through expensive CGI moments.

I would be willing to just have a drunk and hyperactive buddy describe the rest of the series to me, if he made, like, crazy flapping motions when the dragons show up and screamed BOOOOOSSSH when something blows up with wildfire and stuff. Probably be at least as fun as the show.

Go look up the S7 spoilers that were leaked a while back. IIRC it's not very good and entirely predictable.

Impossible. A fever dream would have made more sense than Arya's plot.

There's titties and a literal dick with a bow on it, but don't let that fool you, it's one of HBO's best. (And it can seem a little quaint now, the battles aren't really battles at all compared to what's in GoT, but that doesn't matter, watching Cirian Hinds and James Purefoy and all the other fantastic actors and actresses.)

Rome, Deadwood, Band of Brothers, the Sopranos, and The Wire were all a part of the same era, and it still blows my mind how great the 00's were on that channel.

I always absolutely hated it cutting away and just going "Okay Julius won".

Holy poo poo, there is going to be an 8th season? I remember them announcing that 7 is going to be the last one and that it's going to be short. I even remember discussing how glad everyone is that it's finally over. :wtc: Was there always going to be an 8th season? Is this a Berenstein type parallel reality situation?

That was always the plan. They never said season 7 would be the last. They only said seasons 7 & 8 would have fewer episodes.

Season 7 was always going to be the last season, they just gave it a couple extra episodes and broke it up into two parts because of reasons. Breaking Bad did the same thing - whether you want to call it one long season or two short seasons is up to you, but I think that's how the episodes will be numbered.
